Conferences
Iliad runs conferences and workshops that bring together researchers working on the mathematical foundations of AI alignment.
Our flagship is the Iliad conference series, alongside smaller, focused workshops that give researchers time and space to work through a single hard problem together.
Iliad
The Iliad conference series is the flagship gathering for theoretical AI alignment. It runs in an unconference format, where participants can propose and lead their own sessions.
Visit iliadconference.com →Abstractions Workshop
A small, invite-only research workshop on the foundations of abstraction: what abstractions intelligent systems learn, and how they can be characterized formally.
Topics include natural abstractions, bisimulation, emergence and coarse-graining, algorithmic information theory, and the mathematical question of what features are. The workshop is co-organized by Iliad and Fernando Rosas.
Iliad Dormitory
A month-long research residency at Lighthaven in Berkeley, bringing Iliad fellows, instructors, and invited researchers together to live and work on one campus.
Participation is by invitation.
